DC holds meeting for measles, rubella

The meeting happened with doctors of the Civil Surgeon and Health Department officials. In the meeting it was decided to launch vaccine on June 26, 2018. This vaccine is to be given to children from nine months to 15 years.

It was decided in the meet that in the first phase vaccination work will be run in all the schools for three weeks in and one week in Anganwadi centres.

Since more than 80 per cent of children are in school, the role of education department becomes crucial in the process of vaccine.
